Provisions on the technical framework conditions for transmitting electronic documents to law enforcement authorities and criminal courts

Regulation amending the e-Justice Regulation

The regulation lays down uniform provisions on e-justice with law enforcement authorities and criminal courts at federal and state level, where applicable under § 32a StPO (Code of Criminal Procedure) in the version as of 1 January 2018.

As a result of the amendments, the technical framework conditions already laid down in the basic regulation in relation to transmitting and processing electronic documents shall also apply in the area of criminal proceedings. On the basis of a corresponding reference in § 110c of the Act on Regulatory Offences, the provisions shall also apply mutatis mutandis to administrative fine proceedings.
